Beast of Prey Collection Event

Then you go on Apex, Control... and it's a dark map. 26 minutes. Dark map rotation needs to be max 5 minutes so you can easily avoid it. Guess I'll just give up and go back on Star Trek Online. sadge

Okay, gave it a chance. Barometer, that is, not the dark map.

I see sbmm hasn't improved while I was away.

Anyway, now I remember why I like Control better than Gun Run. Control rewards you for doing stuff while not dying. You improve your guns. Die and you're back to blue attachments.

When does the leaver penalty reset? Been stuck on 20 minutes for hours. Before it reset often. This makes for alot of wasting time AFC'ing.

Apparently it doesn't reset anymore. I'm constantly on 20 minutes now. Kinda drags the mode down. Gonna have to only give Control 5/10 in this version. At least the loadouts are better than the last time.

@CCbathwaterI haven’t yet lost a game, just go for the mobile beacon and place it as close to the enemy base (a or c) as possible, that is basically an insta-win, I hope with this info you won’t have to have another leaver penalty 🙂

@BigMacAttack8uSee, that's another thing... like the crafter in BR, I don't spend time on that. I only take a cp if it's directly in my path. The game doesn't last long enough for me to chase around the map for a mobile respawn thing, a Rampage, or even Lifeline's old passive abilities.

It's also an outrage that my two teammates disconnect and don't come back, plus both teams are down 1 each, and I still can't leave without the 20 min warning. Literally just have to sit afc for 10 minutes. Come on, man! At least I have MTV 80's when Respawn force me to sit and wait.

@hayhor I was just thinking about that this morning. I agree completely. Then I suddenly realized that both modes give you a total of nine enemies. I'm thinking this must be an intentional "ideal" they came up with for these modes, along with maintaining the standard of squads of three from BR, etc.  For some reason, that number of enemies feels a lot more oppressive to me in Control than in Gun Run.

You almost owed me a keyboard on that one. Should stop reading your posts while drinking coffee.

@hayhorWell, sbmm is bad on all modes. Control used to be better, but this time around it's atrocious. 7-8/10 games I am on the losing team. If I don't defend and attack every point, and basically kill everyone it's an insta loss. Usually there are 1-2 other players on the team, but 3v6-7 is too much for an entire match. This mode needs sbmm fixing or just let me leave like on BR and GR.

Edit: I think I was too nice earlier. It's more like 8-10/10 games that go like that.

I finally did it!

I try every time, but it's my first C-to-A, through the trees, hit. 🤣 The one on the receiving end must have been like "wth!?!". 🤣

It pains me, but played Wraith for 3 games now, all wins. Total struggle with Lifeline this time around in Control, so it's annoying how Wraith makes it easier and less straining to play. She's actually good in this mode. Oh, Horizon, did you crack me? Well, I'm outta here. Lifeline... dead.

I guess I just have to play Wraith nowadays, no matter the mode. 😒

Edit: 6 wins, but enough for today, I'm void'ing to bed with the NA PS tourney casted by my favourite GuhRL. 😊 In one game we were even just 7v9 for a large part of it. Either I get better matchmaking when on Wraith or she's just insanely good compared to my Lifeline. Haven't been near 6 wins in a row with Lifeline. With Lifeline I'd be lucky just to get two wins in a row at this point. 😒
